WICKET & HEROIC BATTLES
Welcome our final addition to the Ewok invasion: Wicket arrives in the Galaxy of Heroes! This powerful Ewok attacker finds his strength in numbers, granting incredible Critical Hit and Stealth synergies to Ewok squads, while also dealing more critical damage for each Ewok present. In addition, Wicket's unique, Furtive Tactics, gives Wicket a chance to take another turn, each turn.

To celebrate Wickets arrival, we're introducing a brand new type of event, the Heroic Battles will allow players to fight against huge enemies and earn unique rewards in a recurring event. The first of these is The Endor Escalation Heroic Battle. This encounter pits the intrepid Ewoks against the formidable AT-ST.

The AT-ST has several devastating attacks including:
  • BLASTER CANNON: Deals single target physical damage and inflicts Stagger
  • HEAVY BLASTER VOLLEY: Deals heavy single-target damage and ignores armor
  • INCENDIARY GRENADE: Deals area damage and inflicts Burning
  • CONCUSSION GRENADE: Deals light damage and inflicts Daze

While this Imperial threat may look ominous, the challenge isn’t without glory. The first time the AT-ST appears it will yield rare Mods. Future appearances of the AT-ST will be a players' source to obtain Wicket shards!

This challenging event starts: July 29th

(NOTE:On the first run this weekend, this event will be locked to a forced-squad of L85 G11 Ewoks.TLDR- You will be given a Souped up Squad!)

ENDOR ESCALATION III- WICKET

No Ewok squad is complete without the standout warrior of Bright Tree village. Join forces with Wicket and aid him in his attack against the Imperial stronghold! Earn Wicket shards as you familiarize yourself with his attacks and learn strategic tips in this four tier event!
Are you ready? Because the attack commences on July 27th.
